Seizure later

Now that the world is safe from Sarah Palin, I'm taking a few days off for some decompression. BlueNC is now officially entering its 7th year of hell-raising ... and it promises to be a doozie.

Peace out.

Speaking of falls from grace

How about that Rick Perry?

Just to recap, in less than two months Rick Perry has:

  • Suggested that maybe Ben Bernanke should be lynched.
  • Declined to back off his contention that Social Security is an unconstitutional Ponzi scheme.
  • Called climate change a "contrived phony mess" that was cooked up by scientists who have "manipulated data so that they will have dollars rolling in to their projects."
  • Pissed off the conservative base by defending his decision to (in Michele Bachmann's immortal words) give "government injections" to "innocent little 12-year-old girls."
  • Said that if you disagree with his policy on in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, "I don't think you have a heart."
  • Mangled a prepackaged debate attack on Mitt Romney so badly, and then followed up with a statement on Pakistan so inscrutable, that even his supporters started to wonder if he has a three-digit IQ.
  • Proposed that US troops should be used to fight Mexican drug lords. In Mexico.
  • Had to defend himself against revelations that his family leases a hunting spot called "Niggerhead."

Campus Crossing CEO story gets uglier and uglier

I know lots of chief executives. Some are great people, others seem more like scumbags.

To my knowledge.
